You're all wrong, it's maybe not a matter of money or to have more
users, but to let it work for a lot of users for our current users
base. It's very annoying, and a lot of Wine users might need it ATM. A
lot of people have older iPods who are supported by some programs like
Amarok or Rhythmbox, but not for the latest generations...
